(Verse 1)
D A G
If you'll step inside this great glass elevator,
D A G
It'll take us up above the city lights,
D A D/F
To where the planet curves away to the equator,
G A/C#
I wanna show you something fine,
D G
You can see the roads that we all traveled just to get here,
D A G
A million minuscule decisions in a line,
D A D/F
Why they brought us to this moment isn't clear,
G A/C#
But that's alright, we've got all night,
(Chorus 1)
G D
Could it be that the many roads you took to get here,
A Bsus (G)
Were just for me to tell this story, and for you to hear this song
G D A
And your many hopes, and your many fears, were meant to bring you here,
G
All along,
(Verse 2)
D A G
So if you trust me with your time I'll spend it wisely,
D A G
And I will sing to you with all I have to give,
D A D/F G
Cause if you traveled all this way, then I will do my best to play,
A/C#
My biggest hits, that don't exist,
D A G
And if you lend to me your ear I'll sing them pretty,
D A G
And I will never ever sing them out of tune,
D A D/F G
And I will not forget the words to any chorus bridge or verse,
A/C#
I promise you, oh ohh
--(Chorus 1)--
(Bridge)
Bsus A
And we got Benjamin to play that old piano,
D D/F GaddB
If we're lucky it's a little out of tune,
Bsus A
And we got Andy on the guitar,
D A/C# G
Cause I promised him some Texas barbecue, oh ohh
(Verse 3)
D A G
How I love to watch you listen to the music,
D A G
Cause you sing to me a music of your own,
D A
As I cast out all these lines,
D D/F G A/C#
So afraid that I will find I am alone, all alone,
(Chorus 2)
G D
Could it be that the many roads I took to get here,
A
Were just for me to hear that story,
Bsus (G)
And for you to sing that song
G D A G
And my many hopes, and my many fears, were meant to bring me here, all along
D A/C# G
We were meant to be right here, all along.
